Time to put your order in if you were thinking of getting the new Sadowsky onboard bass preamp assembly.

A pretty good recording of my Will Lee from church yesterday.
I hit the HipShot Doulbe Stop lever towards the end of the tune dropping my E all the way down to low B.
And it sounds killer!

I'm pretty OCD and have good ears. I've never noticed even the slightest difference in tone or response with a shim, and I've done lots of them. I only hesitated with this bass because of the cost of the bass and the risk of cracking the body finish taking the neck off.

I think Rick turner was the one who said tight neck pockets don't even matter as long as the bolts are tight.

Well, a shim job on a bass with a nice tight neck pocket honestly shouldn't be noticeable to the human ear, which is why I said it's not really a big deal, but I definitely disagree with Rick that a tight neck pocket literally doesn't matter.

(new in-stock NYC's - just got the email)

I like how they moved the logo over to accommodate for the quick release string tree on the 4 string.
It now lines up just like the 5 string.
Nice!

Yeah, no 'guitars' on the logo neither.

**Chef** · #**953** 01-08-2013, 12:45 PM

Gui-what?

I vaguely remember hearing something about those.

jmeyers44 · #**954** 01-08-2013, 01:06 PM

Now I got to get another one with the new logo position

Vic · #**955** 01-08-2013, 01:07 PM

Oh, the pain... good thing it's not solid ash with singles and a narrow nut...

Oh Lordy....I can see it now:
"Pre logo shift era Sadowsky's sound better than post logo shift....."
And used "pre logo shift" prices go through the roof!

You know I like that color combination

p0k · #**960** 01-08-2013, 01:48 PM

Contemplating putting in an order for a new Sadowsky...Can't decide on the color though. It's between Candy Apple Orange, Shell Pink, Trans-Walnut, or Trans-Burgundy.

Decisions decisions...

I'm also trying to decide if I should get it as solid Ash or not. Will it sound much different without the chambering?
